CVE-2010-2061
rpcbind 0.2.0 does not properly validate (1) /tmp/portmap.xdr and (2) /tmp/rpcbind.xdr, which can be created by an attacker before the daemon is started.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.42%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
